IMPORTANT NEWS

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED OUR PARISH CELEBRATE THE CHRISTMAS SEASON!!

We continue our celebration through the Feasts of Epiphany this weekend and the Baptism of the Lord on Monday. So, keep that festive spirit as we celebrate how much God loves us by dwelling among all creation!

WELCOME DAVE FITTON!

As you know Sal recently accepted a job with the Archdiocese. We are so excited to announce that Dave Fitton, parishioner and school family parent, has been hired as our new Facilities Supervisor. Dave’s experience in construction and building maintenance, along with his knowledge of the campus and community, is a true blessing for OLG. Please join us in welcoming Dave to the Guad Squad team.

LITURGY

SUSPENDING THE CHALICE

We recently received this directive from the Archdiocese: “Throughout history, the Catholic Church has paused the chalice during significant flu seasons. Given the increase of COVID cases, flu cases and RSV cases in our archdiocese, we encourage parishes to suspend the use of the chalice at this time.” We will be following this recommendation until it is safe to bring back the sharing of the cup with the assembly.

ADORATION AND PRAYER

Parishioners are invited to come to the church and pray in our new Blessed Sacrament Chapel during the week. Just come by the Parish Office to get a key or call the Office and we can arrange to meet you there and let you in. We wish we could keep the church unlocked but we can’t due to security...

UPCOMING EVENTS

THE FUTURE OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The Holy Rosary/Our Lady of Guadalupe Care for Creation team invites you to view the film “2040,” in which Australian director Damon Gameau imagines a future for his 4-year-old daughter, Velvet, where problems from climate change have been solved. The film is presented as a letter from Gameau to his daughter in which he travels the world investigating solutions that can help mitigate climate change and explores a future in which those solutions have been implemented. It covers five broad areas of action and features interviews with academics, ecological experts, entrepreneurs and children.

The film will be shown via Zoom at 7 p.m. Monday, Jan. 16, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It runs about 90 minutes and will be followed by 30+ minutes of viewer discussion. Here is the ZOOM LINK. Those with questions or difficulty connecting on Zoom may contact Paul Sampson, pdsampson@comcast.net, 206-313-5847.
